It's hard to run a business with those goddamn cops
'Cause every time they come around, the business stops
There's nothing they like better than to bust our chops
Why don't they leave us businessmen alone?
Why don't they leave us businessmen alone?
Why don't they leave us alone?
Yes, our profession goes into recession
As soon as the cops arrive
Man, you know it's hard to make a sale
When they throw your merchandise in jail
The paddy wagon's jumping but the street is dead
And once again we're operating in the red
So how are we supposed to meet our overhead?
Why don't they leave us businessmen alone?
Why don't they leave us businessmen alone?
Why don't they leave us alone?
They hassle and they hound us every goddamn place
They're always getting off by getting on our case
What happened to the freedom of the market place?
Why don't they leave us working girls alone?
Why don't they leave us working girls alone?
Why don't they leave us alone?
The police police us, the judges release us
We keep coming back again
There'll be whores as long as there are johns
And there'll be johns as long as there are men
The cops are always there no matter where we're at
They trail us and they tail us and they nail us flat
Then they want a freebie after all of that
Why don't they leave us working girls alone?
This game of cops and hookers it ain't nothing new
But nowadays they sure got better things to do
They even might have time to solve a crime or two
If they would leave us working girls alone
Why don't they leave us businessmen alone?
Why don't they leave us working girls alone?
Why don't they? Why don't they?
Why don't they? Why don't they?
Why don't they leave us alone?
